    Posting this here b/c I figure this is where I'll get the most responses.



    Please tell me all the benefits of being a sports agent and/or why someone should choose a career as a sports agent? I got a paper to write and I got kind of a mental block. :)

    Trips to nudie bars with clients. Get to watch them make it rain.

    Date Renee Zellwegger.

    Drive fancy car and sing along to Tom Petty songs on the radio.

    Would you really date Renee Zellwegger? I can barely look at her in the movies.

    I actually met one of Arn Tellem's assistants before a clipper game.....always on the phone, worrying about injuries, trades, etc.....but free tix. seemed very fast paced.

    lots of negotiating, if you like that stuff...dealing with contracts, numbers, and rules...kind of like putting together a puzzle I guess

    Pretty nice Page2 article.

    And I prefer the power-hungry girlfriend Kelly "fucking" Preston.
